What is The Thing About? There is a parasitic alien organism that looks like its victims on the loose in Antarctica. In part because they don't know who has been absorbed, and because their paranoia could break them apart, this mission is more difficult than they thought it might be.
John Carpenter's 1982 box office flop "The Thing" sent reviewers running for the hills with its very brutal and intricate VFX. Although it is still held up to this day original site as an example of why physical effects outlast CGI, most other life lessons you may take from this film are best avoided. Unless you like spending time in prison.
